"Emilia Pérez doesn’t so much shatter boundaries as simply ignore them. Swirling together melodrama, campy humor, crime saga, and song-and-dance, it treats genre boundaries as ephemeral at best."
"The three women at the center of this operatic fable are the title character, a Mexican drug cartel kingpin, along with a frustrated attorney and the wife left behind."
"After helping to get a wealthy, guilty client acquitted for murder, Rita receives a mysterious offer promising a big payoff, leading to her kidnapping by Manitas Del Monte."
"Powered by three leads and Audiard's audacious approach, Emilia Pérez is that rarest of things: a true novelty that crosses national borders with ease."
